A Completely Different Take on Surviving the Holocaust

 When I picked up Anita Diamant's Day After Night, it was primarily because I loved The Red Tent. While this book, is set-up in a similar manner,  the context and characters are completely different. Four Jewish women have survived the Holocaust amiss horrendous circumstances.  The story unfolds as the 4 women are taken into a post-war camp in Palestine.  Each woman has their own strength, secrets, and stories. In the end, their friendship is one of the highlights of the book as they search for a new life in Palestine.

As a whole, this book was good, but not amazing. The characters were well-developed, but occasionally it was hard to follow the plot. The end of the book wraps up well, and overall I would call Day After Night a good book.  Read it if you are a fan of Anita Diamant or historical fiction.
